These will be updated to include a category with time, but to generalize, most involve music, photos, or general personal blogging. Basically I learned about categories when I was 700 posts in, and didn’t care to go back more than a couple hundred entries categorizing.

TED Talks & ADD

  By

Ah, crap.  It happened again. Does anyone else feel like they’ve been Rick-rolled when someone sends them a link to a TED Talk? I just can’t commit 10 minutes at a time to anything these days.  They’re such good segments, very informative, thought-provoking and usually quite fresh.  So why doesn’t my body want to sit in one spot and listen to these delectable spiels whenever a friend (or foe) informs me that I must watch this video?  I can’t do it!  I can’t.  In the… Continue reading

Car Shopping

  By

Hello.  I’m looking for a car.  Preferably an un-robbable one, but I’m not too picky.  I do know that I want a cute hatchback and I do not want it to be silver or grey, and I am even a bit biased against black cars.  Sorry, it’s just how I was raised.  I want something in either a nice colour or pure white so that I can carry around a Coach purse and wear diamond-studded sunglasses without feeling out of place.  I want at least… Continue reading

Things That Make Me LOL

  By

Tonight’s Twitter topic is #ThingsThatMakeMeLOL.  I know, I know.  You are all businessmen and time is most definitely money.  I will try to make this short and sweet. When people accidentally speak to me in their first language, and it isn’t English.  This happened in a McDonalds in Budapest a couple of years ago.  Knowing just the swears in a language is funny only when you’re not visiting the country the language originated from.  Miklos was my translator, and there were four of us (half… Continue reading

So it Goes.

  By

From the article, 15 Things Kurt Vonnegut Said Better than Anyone Else Ever Has or Will: 13. “So it goes.” Unlike many of these quotes, the repeated refrain from Vonnegut’s classic Slaughterhouse-Five isn’t notable for its unique wording so much as for how much emotion—and dismissal of emotion—it packs into three simple, world-weary words that simultaneously accept and dismiss everything. There’s a reason this quote graced practically every elegy written for Vonnegut over the past two weeks (yes, including ours): It neatly encompasses a whole way of life.… Continue reading

Canada Loves Me!

  By

I’m mulling over the ol’ Google Analytics (which by the way, is inferior in every way to my old methods, namely Sitemeter and Clicky), and I can’t help but notice the difference between traffic say, 7 years ago, and now on my blogs.  Sure, it’s a different URL, I am far less interactive on the ol’ internets (except on Facebook and Twitter, where I nearly never link to my blog entries, hrm – potential problem on my part).  There was a time when, even without… Continue reading

‘LEAP’ of Faith… You get it.

  By

I did it!  I posted on the Leap Day! Let me take this useless opportunity of a blog post to say, oh great, Woody Harrelson is in the Hunger Games movie?  Eh, I guess it makes sense. Also, using intelligence of the many I know who have had their cars broken into lately, I think we may finally have cracked a nut in this burglar case.  Which, you know, would normally be the job of the police but let’s be realistic, I don’t live in… Continue reading

Rarr

  By

One of my favourite animals, the Amur leopard, is (in captivity, at least) making some headway in population restoration. These cats in the wild have a population of about 30-35 known.  I’ve been lucky enough to see one in captivity at a local zoo; despite people’s conflicting thoughts on zoos, I’d be sad if they died out before I ever got to see one, and they’re clearly flourishing better in captivity than in the wild.  Just a few years ago with the release of the… Continue reading
